Hello,

I'm was looking for an easy way to disable the "set as desktop background" option in Firefox. We use group policy here to disable changing the background, but the Firefox option "set as desktop background" bypasses group policy and changes the background. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I do not know how to do this via GPO.

When this is asked on the forum then we advice to do this via a userCrome.css file in the profile folder, but this can be bypassed by running Firefox in Safe Mode.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line. 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#context-setDesktopBackground { display:none!important; }

Hi there, 

Concerning the solution offered by Cor-El, will that change in the .css file be persistent after an update?
